Parents and teachers should prioritize teaching real-life application addition and subtraction word problems to children aged 5-6 for several important reasons. First, these problems help children understand the relevance of math in everyday life. By connecting mathematical concepts to real situations, children see the value of what they are learning, making it more engaging and meaningful.

Second, word problems develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. As children decode the scenario and extract mathematical operations needed, they learn to analyze information and apply logic. This skill set is crucial not only in math but in daily decision-making experiences.

Furthermore, working on word problems enhances language skills. Children expand their vocabulary and gain comprehension skills as they learn to articulate math-related concepts in their own words, fostering a deeper understanding of both math and language.

Lastly, early exposure to real-life applications builds a strong mathematical foundation and boosts confidence. This empowers children to approach new challenges with enthusiasm, ultimately setting them up for success in future math learning. By caring about these skills, parents and teachers are investing in well-rounded, competent learners who are prepared for more complex challenges ahead.
